This Week’s Tip: Safeguard Yourself Against Phone Scams
 
There is no prize!
If someone claims that you have won a lottery or prize but requests payment to claim it, it is not a legitimate prize. Authentic prizes do not come with conditions attached.
 
You will not be arrested!
Scammers may impersonate law enforcement or government officials, threatening you with arrest, fines, or deportation if you do not pay immediately. Do not be deceived — genuine agencies do not operate in this manner.
 
You do not need to make a decision right now!
Reputable businesses will not pressure you into making an immediate decision. In contrast, scammers will attempt to rush you into a choice.

Only scammers insist on specific payment methods!
If someone demands payment through wire transfer, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or payment applications, they are likely a scammer. These payment methods make it nearly impossible to retrieve your funds.
 
Government agencies will not call you for sensitive information!
No legitimate government agency will unexpectedly contact you to request your Social Security number or other personal details.
 
You should not be receiving those calls!
Sales calls from companies with which you do not have a relationship are illegal if you are registered on the National Do Not Call Registry. If someone is already violating the law by calling you, it is likely a scam.
 
By understanding the strategies employed by scammers and implementing measures to prevent unwanted calls, you can greatly diminish your chances of becoming a victim of phone scams. Keep in mind: If an offer appears to be too good to be true, it likely is. Always exercise caution and take your time when answering unexpected calls.
